    My wife and I visited the Sagrada Familia. It is absolutely awe inspiring. I consider it one of the marvels of the modern world. The effects of the lights from the windows were amazing. I was gob-smacked.

    I am a levelheaded adult. Not even so much into art or religion. After a minute inside Sagrada Familia I burst into tears. The beauty was just overwhelming. Never seen anything like it and probably never will. Humans can do so much when determined.

    I’ve lived in Barcelona for seven years now, and had visited the outside of Sagrada Familia maybe 100 times before finally entering it a year ago. When I eventually took a look up for the first time, I unfortunately just muttered to myself out loud “fuck fuck holy fuck, holy shit” 😂
    For the first time in my life, I witnessed something truly breathtaking. All of these comments sound like exaggerations, but I can relate to them on a real level. I didn’t cry by any means, but I soaked in every moment while inside to admire the thousands of details that Gaudí had envisioned.
    To anyone reading this, I highly recommend taking the tower tours as well if they’re available when you go to visit.

      1- Antoni Gaudí was arrested on Septiembre 11, during la Diada (Catalonia nacional day) for speaking Catalan and spent four hours in jail for wanting to attend a mass. We can also mention the Güell family; Eusebi Güell was one of the promoters of the "Memorial de Greuges", which initially was in catalan as "Manifesto in defense of the moral and material interests of Catalonia".
      2- Since the beginning, la Sagrada Familia has been financed with contributions, donations, inheritances and in recent years mainly thanks to the incessant influx of visitors. All sources and funds obtained are private without participation of the public administration... How does it has related to Spain, the spanish nationalism or the spaniards?
      3- Sagrada Familia Beng in Spain, could be explained as an "accidental" matter, because spanish government didn't intervene in its ideological, religious or architectonical conception or in its financing.
      4- It is a cathedral. Christianity is ecumenical and universal, the Sagrada Familia is above all a religious monument, let's leave politics aside.😅

    Do you know that in northern France, during the spread of the gothic style in the 13th century, in a town called Beauvais, you can still visit the highest church ever build? Its roof can contain a 13 storey building inside. And in spite of the immense cost, the cathedral wasn't ever completed. But the interesting fact is: it had the tallest gothic tower in Europe, reaching the astounding 176m. Then it collapsed 20 years later during a storm, and they rebuilt a 155m spire on the cross. Eventually, even the second spire collapsed after being hit by a lightning, so they had to stabilise the rest of the building. It was mind-blowing, considered that America wasn't even discovered during the construction of that building. Today St Pierre cathedral is known as the symbol of french high Gothic style and set a standard that centuries later even the Sagrada familia is struggling to achieve, using cranes, modern machineries and concrete.
    Every Cristian should visit St Pierre, the ruins are nothing short than spectacular and a strong testament to the strong faith of the town of Beauvais ❤
    Even if I'm Italian and we have huge cathedrals here too, the completion of the St Pierre cathedral would have been insane. The estimated cost would be really high, almost five times the cost of restoring Notre Dame in Paris😢

      Funny you say that because that cathedral is not an example of anything, it was built basically at the end of the XIX century by a romanticized nationalism, copying oldest styles in a very bad way. You could have mentioned Burgos cathedral and maybe you would have had a point.

    • @ColdBore4
      @ColdBore4 27 днів тому

      ⁠ Burgos is also extremely beautiful. I mean, every Spanish city has beautiful churches. Why praise the ugliest of them all? Barcelona cathedral, at least, has beauty, order, style & gorgeous art. The sagrada familia has multiple style art(the oldest on the backside being decently good) and the most modern stuff is wretchedly chaotic and twisted in a most ugly form of “sculpture.” A communist would be pleased with the art form.

Anstatt so ein Bauwerk zu bauen, sollte die Kirche das Geld nehmen und Gutes damit tun. Oder brauchen sie so etwas um sich zu vermarkten? Sorry, eine Stadt, ein Staat darf so etwas bauen, aber eine Kirche in Namen Gottes sollte sich was schämen.

    So many people are seduced by the story, the size, the tourist attraction, and don't see the enormous ugliness of this monstruous and pretentious building, that in its expression has nothing related to Christianity - the building 'reads' like satire. The eclectic components don't blend, are mutually exclusive, the proportions are all dissonant and don't answer mathematical integration and 'nesting', etc. etc. and the fin-de-siècle aesthetics are remarkably repulsive for anyone with a residu of taste.
    Only subjective reaction? Just compare it with real churches and try to understand the underlying dynamics of the structures... like the great European cathedrals, or even the renaissance or baroque churches like St Pauls, St Pieter's basilica, or - something entirely different the Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Gaudi's absurd design falls lamentably short in terms of aesthetics, expression, structure, proportion, execution. It is a very expensive and useless flop.

      Creo que es un comentario inapropiado, podrías pasarte por el nuevo Camp Nou para ver si realmente es diferente. En el caso de la Sagrada Familia obviamente no se debe a un tema racial, sino de profesionales. Estamos hablando de una construcción especial y arraigada a la ciudad y los mismos catalanes, pero repito no se debe a racismo. Un ejemplo es el de el escultor japonés, que trabaja desde 1978 en la Sagrada Familia, Etsuro Sotoo.
      Estamos hablando de un gran número de artesanos, o sino operarios altamente cualificados y con unos requisitos muy específicos. Si alguno de África o de Marte logra el trabajo este lo hará.

    It took soooo long to build this magnificent church and now you’re rushing things by introducing steel?!?!
    Doesn’t make sense does it…
    This church was meant to be standing there for thousands of years, hence the idea to build it with stone only..!! Now you’re introducing steel structures (that has a life span of 50+/- years when not maintained) to the towers in the center of the church and at its highest point, a death blow in my opinion!!!
    When nobody’s maintaining the steel sometime in the future the steel will crumble and the rest of the towers will collapse and be taking the rest of the building with them…!!!
    Just the opposite of what Gaudi intended for this church..!!
    After all this time spent to build it there was no need to rush things now in order to save time!!!

    • @deltasquared7777
      @deltasquared7777 28 днів тому

      The dome of St Peter in Rome built in 1590 was in so much in danger of failing that in 1750 six rows of iron bands were tied around the base of the dome to preserve it against collapse. The dome of St Mark in Venice had been similarly reinforced in 1523. These have held it up for more 250 years. so I think adequate precedent for use of something other than brick and stone in cathedrals has been well established, particularly in the period contemporary with Gaudi. The increasing extensive use of iron and steel in the construction of cathedrals in the 19th century is nicely discussed in an article by Herbert Eller titled "The iron structures of the roof o frame and central tower of Cologne Cathedral" which can be easily found by internet search

      There is no money spent, the money is generated by the temple (for the tickets), if there is no temple there is no money. I agree with God, but not with the issue of money, since Gaudí said that he should not receive money from the public or any institution.

      Sagrada familia construction is payed just by donations and since tourism became a big thing in the city also the entrance ticketing thats the reason its still in construction after 140 years. The construction has been on stand by many times back in the xx century by lack of money. No public money was never put on it.
